What you need to achieve
Complete a 4×4 sum grid with digits 1–9, no repeats in any row or column, and the displayed totals. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Making your moves
- Compare a row total with its fixed entries.
- Use the column total for the same blank.
- Enter digits 1–9.
- Check puzzle verifies totals and non-repetition.
The controls to know
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
A closer look at one example
A row total 18 with fixed values 2, 4 and 7 requires 5 in the remaining cell. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
An important reminder
Repeated digits in a run are forbidden even when the sum matches. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
